Nate Crider gives Louisiana Tech a veteran, power-built arm in the bullpen
In the 2026 season, Nate Crider has been a graduate-student right-hander for Louisiana Tech, listed at 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, and he’s shown the kind of veteran presence coaches love in late-inning roles.[1][3] His 2026 line includes 8.0 innings with a 1-1 record and 4.40 ERA in one stat set, while game reports show he’s been used in pressure spots and trusted to help close out innings.[4][5] What makes him interesting is the pro-style frame, bullpen utility, and back-end experience rather than flashy headline numbers.[3][13]
